Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Start by preheating your non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Once hot, add the diced eggplant and sauté for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the eggplant cooks, in a mixing bowl, combine the kidney beans, lemon juice, and tahini. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the cooked eggplant, and sauté briefly for 1-2 minutes just until wilted.
- Warm the pita bread in the skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, until soft and pliable.
- To assemble the bowls, slice the pita in half and fill each pocket with the eggplant and spinach mixture, followed by the tahini kidney bean mix.
- Finish each bowl with freshly chopped parsley and any optional toppings like cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Serve immediately and enjoy!
